Tiny Red Bumps Posted: 02-27-04 22:49pm
Recently I have noticed tiny raised bumps
on my skin that itch. They are not
clustered anywhere, but have appeared on
my arms, legs, chest and back. The ones
I have are not going away, and there seem
to be a few more each time I check. I got
a dog a few weeks ago, and I wonder if he
could be the problem?
If this is scabies, how can I go about
treating it?

Could just be an allergic reaction to your
new dog.. Which hopefully isn't the case,
because im sure it would be painful to get
rid of it... However if it is scabies you
can treat them with any sort of lice
medication, as thats what 'scabies' are..
Although to be 100% safe talk to your
doctor to find out for sure what this is
so you don't go about trying to fix the
problem and possibly making it
worse...Best of luck with whatever you
have!
